Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Nudge Security's SaaS attack surface management solution
Can Nudge Security detect sensitive data being shared with unauthorized SaaS apps?
Yes. Nudge Security tracks where sensitive data is flowing across your SaaS environment, including source code repositories, customer data platforms, and AI tools, and alerts on real-time file uploads to unauthorized apps.
How is SaaS attack surface management different from traditional ASM?
Traditional attack surface management focuses on externally visible infrastructure: domains, IPs, and open ports. SaaS attack surface management addresses the risk that lives inside your SaaS stack—shadow apps, OAuth connections, and app-to-app integrations that don't show up in an external scan.
What is SaaS attack surface management?
SaaS attack surface management is the practice of continuously discovering and monitoring every cloud and SaaS asset an attacker could exploit, including shadow apps, OAuth integrations, third-party connections, and AI tools. The goal is to reduce exposure before it becomes a target.
How does Nudge Security handle third- and fourth-party supply chain breaches?
Nudge Security monitors your SaaS supply chain for third- and fourth-party breaches in real time, alerting your team when a vendor you're connected to is compromised and identifying which users in your organization are affected.
What does the SaaS attack surface include?
The SaaS attack surface includes every sanctioned and unsanctioned app in use, OAuth grants connecting those apps to each other, rogue cloud infrastructure created outside IT oversight, AI tools employees have adopted independently, and third-party vendor relationships that carry their own risk. Most organizations underestimate the size of this surface.
How does Nudge Security map an organization's SaaS attack surface?
Nudge Security discovers your full SaaS estate on day one, including apps, accounts, and integrations that existed before deployment, and continuously updates that inventory as new apps and connections appear. You get a complete, current picture of your attack surface without manual cataloging.
